What a difference a year makes…

Wednesday, September 9th, 2009

Great news! The Minnesota Landscape Arboretum is going to be carrying my Birder Murders! I’ve been trying to place “The Boreal Owl Murder” in the gift shop there for the last year, and now it’s a done deal, complete with some book signings for both “Boreal Owl” and my newest, “Murder on Warbler Weekend,” scheduled for the busy holiday shopping season.

It looks like this adventure will take him to Lanesboro in southeastern Minnesota to try to locate a certain quail by the name of (did you guess?) ...more...
